NORWEGIAN FJORDS CRUISE

7-NIGHT CRUISE SAILING APRIL 27, 2019

Join Twin Cities Live on this special hosted cruise, and take in the natural beauty, cool cities and stunning architecture of Norway.

The beauty of Norway will take your breath away, with its enchanting mix of jaw-dropping natural sights and cities steeped in culture and history. A Norwegian cruise is the perfect way to see the country, as the sailing routes take you right up close to majestic fjords and into the heart of Norway’s most vibrant cities.

The famous fjords of Norway are magical to visit and are considered some of the world’s most impressive natural wonders. Formed in the ice age, they’re made up of snowy mountain tops, vibrant blue waters and dramatic waterfalls – and a fjords cruise gives you the perfect vantage point to see them at their best.

As an added bonus, you’ll enjoy this adventure with Twin Cities Live Host, Elizabeth Ries, for an unforgettable experience.

The trip includes a 7-night Norwegian Fjords cruise onboard the Celebrity Silhouette departing from and returning to Southampton, England. Cruise Norway’s stunning coast and visit ports of call such as Bergen, Alesund, Stavanger and more.

Get a taste of London too! A special pre-cruise London package as well as discounted group airfare will be available to complete your entire experience from start to finish.

CRUISE ITINERARY

Southampton is a bustling port city bursting with history, as well as shopping opportunities, great restaurants, and superb pubs. Located on England’s southern coast, the area has a deep connection with WWII, having been used as a staging area for the attack on D-Day. It’s also well-known to be the home port of the Queen Mary 2. Today, the city is largely defined by its universities and retail shopping.

The Celebrity Silhouette® is impressive. With chic upgrades to the iconic Lawn Club, there is more space to relax, and socialize in the fresh sea air. Plus the Lawn Club Grill offers an interactive outdoor grilling experience. After a day of adventure unwind in your own cabana-styled haven at The Alcoves. Inside, embark on a culinary adventure at Qsine® where food and wine are ordered from an iPad® menu. Schedule a stone massage at the Canyon Ranch SpaClub®. Join a yoga class in the fitness center with floor-to-ceiling views of the sea. Take a food-and-wine-pairing workshop to step up your culinary game. Check your Celebrity Today daily newsletter for a list of what’s going on each day.

Bergen, Norway is a former Viking stronghold girded by deep fjords, towering mountains and sweeping glaciers. Visit Bryggen Wharf, where you can strike a bargain in one of the many artisans' workshops, or visit the famous Fish Market for a real treat. Bergen specialties include fish soup, cured salmon, herring, shrimp, and venison. Be sure to try the “skillingsbolle”, a sinfully good cinnamon roll while on your Bergen cruise. This city located on the southwest coast of Norway is straight out of storybook. At the center of its allure is the old wharf town of Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where winding cobblestone alleys transport you back through 400 years of Hanseatic domination. Indeed, the Middle Ages lurk around every bend of this wonderfully preserved Norwegian treasure, and yet it’s also alive with a youthful exuberance evident in eclectic coffee houses, sensational art galleries and a burgeoning local music scene. Perhaps, the best way to take it all in is by hopping aboard the city’s funicular and climbing some 1,000 feet above sea level. As sweeping views of the city, the surrounding mountains and glistening fjords envelop you; it’s impossible not to marvel at the beauty of Bergen.

Alesund’s turrets, spires, and other whimsical art nouveau architectural touches give the town its distinctive, fairytale-like character. On your cruise to Alesund, don’t forget to visit scenic Geiranger Fjord. One of Norway’s best-known attractions is just a stone’s throw from this quaint little town. Ages of glacial erosion have given way to sculpted, towering mountainsides upon which flow numerous, dramatic waterfalls. There is no shortage of nature to stand in awe of at this favorite Norway attraction. To fully capture the depth of beauty in this seaside town, a jaunt up Mount Aksla is in order. From there, you’ll have a bird’s-eye view of this colorful, magical place. Drive the famous Path of Trolls, a roadway that was literally blasted out of the mountainside. Travel back to Viking days and discover exotic marine life on this exploration of the Saga Islands. Begin on Giske, where you’ll walk in the footsteps of Viking legends then continue to the island of Godoy to visit the Atlantic Sea Park. Built directly into the rugged landscape, it features massive aquariums teeming with colorful fish and sea life.

Geiranger is remote even by Norwegian standards, with a rugged beauty that will leave you breathless. Winding your way through the Geiranger Fjord feels like the entrance to a secret world, protected by massive, snow-capped mountains on either side. On your Geiranger cruise you can also take a side trip to Ørnesvingen or Flydalsjuvet to gaze upon this magnificence. Superlatives simply fall short when trying to describe the epic beauty of Geiranger. Your welcoming committee is comprised of the sheer walls, snow-capped peaks, cascading waterfalls and emerald-green channels of Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage landmark. At its head, lies a charming village that plays host to outdoor enthusiasts and nature-minded tourists from all over the world. Its Norwegian charms are certainly captivating with plenty of lovely shops for souvenirs and restaurants offering up fresh salmon, lake trout, and local favorites like goat meat, reindeer, and specialty sausages. It’s undeniably clear that here nature herself is the superstar. Whether it’s standing before the cascades of the Seven Sisters waterfalls or climbing to one of the scenic overlooks, Geiranger is a jaw-dropping panoramic adventure.

Whether you prefer outdoor adventure or ancient history, a Stavanger cruise offers a wide array of treasures to discover. Its charming streets climb from the waterfront and are dotted with timber homes painted in wonderfully vibrant colors. The city is a mix of old and new, charming and stylish with an eclectic collection of merchant shops, cafes and historic museums and churches. The Stavanger Cathedral is the country's oldest cathedral, having been built between 1100 and 1125. An easy day hike on Pulpit Rock, the cliff rising over 1800 feet above the sea, offers gorgeous views of the Lysefjord and the surrounding lush terrain. Dining options in the area include outstanding fish and mussels, with French American, Japanese, and Indian influences found throughout the city.

The Celebrity Silhouette® is impressive. With chic upgrades to the iconic Lawn Club, there is more space to relax, and socialize in the fresh sea air. Plus the Lawn Club Grill offers an interactive outdoor grilling experience. After a day of adventure unwind in your own cabana-styled haven at The Alcoves.
